This is a list of primary, secondary, and recurring characters that appear in the animated series VeggieTales .

Primary characters

Bob the Tomato

Voiced by VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer, Bob the Tomato is usually the "straight man" in his partnership with Larry (the "Costello" of the pair), as they introduce many of the stories at the beginning and wrap-up the Biblical lesson at the end of most of the cartoon. However, he plays many character roles in the story segments, some of which contrast his mature persona, which Vischer called "my inner Mr. Rogers". In later episodes, Bob's role has become less central, getting less onscreen time compared to several other characters. He also tells the story of "A Snoodle's Tale". He first appeared to the public in the 1993 release, "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?", Big Idea's first video. In it, he and Larry set the precedent for the opening format which became a VeggieTales standard, where a letter is read from a viewer by the duo on the kitchen counter which served as a sort of studio. He also played himself in the first of the two 15-minute segment titled "Tales from the Crisper", comforting a frightened Junior Asparagus with a cheerful song, "God is Bigger than the Boogeyman."

Though a convincing and easily identifiable anthropomorphic tomato from the start, his animation evolved over time to make him first more tomato-like, and later more cartoony. While in the first episodes Bob was very elastic in his animation, distorting himself significantly, this tendency was toned down greatly, giving him a more fruit-like consistency. Artistic changes were made as well: Bob's body became smaller with proportion to his face and more round, his skin became less shiny and more brightly red, eventually developing a smooth glow, which was more stylistic and probably more kid-friendly. With improving technology at the disposal of Big Idea's artists, Bob's skin became gradually less angular, and the polygons that made his shell essentially disappeared. His leaves would also become more realistic-looking during the transition to Maya. Also, Phil Vischer's voice acting for Bob has taken a slightly higher pitch, though not nearly as significantly as Mike Nawrocki's voice acting for Larry the Cucumber.

Larry the Cucumber

Voiced by VeggieTales cofounder Mike Nawrocki and providing the voice for Granddad on the spin-off 3-2-1 Penguins! , he partners with his best friend, Bob the Tomato, as the wacky sidekick when hosting episodes, and plays numerous and varied roles throughout the series. Larry has also starred in a spinoff role as comical superhero Larry-Boy, in computer-animated and traditionally animated adventures. His most notable role, however, is the host of a short, recurring musical segment entitled "Silly Songs with Larry," in which Larry performs hilarious musical numbers of various style and content matter. He played Huckleberry Larry in Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue and the sequel to Big River Rescue. Larry's onscreen debut was in Big Idea's first video, called Where's God When I'm S-Scared? He co-hosts the shows with Bob the Tomato, a tradition that has continued even today. In this first episode, he was the source of most of the jokes, including physical gags as well as silly dialogue. The video also introduced "Silly Songs with Larry," in which he wore an oversized cowboy hat and sang "The Water Buffalo Song." The Silly Song segment, placed between halves of the traditionally half-hour long story, became a very popular staple of VeggieTales entertainment. So far, Larry is the only character to have appeared in every single VeggieTales episode. One of the most notable differences between the Larry of When I'm S-Scared" and more recent videos is the range of his voice. While Mike Nawrocki has always performed Larry's voice, early scenes, including the first Silly Songs were voiced with a broad vocal range, from Nawrocki's natural tenor to well above. Later on, that range was limited in scope to the upper range, giving Larry a more youthful, and of course, sillier sound. Also, in the earlier years, Larry had an affected lisp. Gradually, Larry's speech became more normal, at about the time of the making of the film King George and the Ducky.

Like Bob, Larry's appearance has also changed over the years. In the first few episodes, his skin was a shiny, dark green colour meant to imitate realistic cucumber skin. However, since the episode King George and the Ducky, Larry's skin has become a much brighter, lighter shade of green.

Larry is one of the only Veggies to have spoken about his family. He reveals his Aunt Ruth in "Dave and the Giant Pickle," in the Silly Song "I Love My Lips." Larry describes that Aunt Ruth "had a beard." Larry's Aunt Ruth is also referenced in "Josh and the Big Wall" when Larry conducts a slide show during the Silly Song. In "Duke and the Great Pie War", he mentions that he has three brothers -- Bob, Mark, and Steve; Bob is the oldest. The brothers join Bob and Larry at the end of the show and perform the "What Have We Learned" song. Larry also mentions that his father is an astronaut. He also mentioned his father in The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's. In the story, he is a floss farmhand and the Tin Man. Larry was called "Elliot" in "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything".

Larry the Cucumber was first used by Phil Vischer to make a short film called Mr. Cuke's Screen Test in 1989. This inspired Phil and Mike to create VeggieTales.

Junior Asparagus

The five-year-old Junior Asparagus is one of the most active co-stars of the VeggieTales series. Junior is a typical playful child, but also is wise beyond his years, taking the lead role in several videos, including "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?", "Dave and the Giant Pickle", "King George and the Ducky" and "Lyle the Kindly Viking". He is also a member of the boy band "Boyz in the Sink", which also consists of Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Jimmy Gourd. Junior has a loving relationship with his parents, who also appear in several of the videos. He plays Benjamin in "The Ballad of Little Joe", who is framed by Little Joe to see if his brothers have changed. Junior also has one of the leading roles in the VeggieTales movie, "Jonah- a VeggieTales Movie." Junior is voiced by Lisa Vischer, wife of Phil Vischer, who co-owns Jellyfish Labs with him. In the initial episodes, Junior was as much a main character as Bob or Larry, having a starring role in at least one segment in every episode. He even appeared alongside Bob during Josh and the Big Wall, replacing Larry, and even interacted with the story's characters. However, as the series evolved, his role become more toned down, and then "Esther...The Girl Who Became Queen" would become the first episode Junior doesn't make an appearance in.

Secondary characters

Archibald Asparagus

Archibald Asparagus . Archibald is voiced by VeggieTales Founder, Phil Vischer.

His 3D-animated depiction has remained generally the same over the years, except that the vectors have become less sharp with rising CG technology. He also had a side-mouth in earlier shows. Also in earlier shows, there was no glass in his monacle. The glass was added when they started using Maya. Archibald first appeared in Where's God When I'm Scared? as an interrupter in the Water Buffalo Song and King Darius in Daniel and the Lion's Den. Some of the veggies call him Archie. He was the main singer in the song, "The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo". Archibald is the main character in "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie" and a butler in "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything". He has a British accent.

Mr. Lunt

Mr. Lunt is a decorative Spanish gourd who grew up in New Jersey and speaks with a Mexican-Spanish accent. He often appears as Mr. Nezzer's assistant, and they debuted together in Rack, Shack, and Benny. He was once again alongside Mr. Nezzer in Esther… The Girl Who Became Queen as Haman. Mr. Lunt also frequently appears as part of "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything", and even once got his own Silly Song ("His Cheeseburger") and starred in two others ("Belly Button" and "A Mess Down in Egypt"). He is also in The Biscuit of Zazzamaranbabo . A notable feature is his lack of eyes. He often wears a hat and uses the brim of the hat, or his eyebrows, for expression. Mr. Lunt is voiced by Vischer. Mr. Lunt was called "Sedgewick" in "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, and appears in Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella as the twin brothers Rattan and Wicker.


Mr. Lunt is voiced by Phil Vischer.

Jimmy and Jerry Gourd

Jimmy and Jerry are a secondary comic duo, and are brothers. While Bob and Larry can be considered animated versions of Abbott and Costello, Jimmy (orange gourd) and Jerry (yellow gourd) might more closely resemble Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Both appeared together in Are You My Neighbor? (their debut). They later appear in Dave and the Giant Pickle, Josh and the Big Wall! and King George and the Ducky; Jimmy is a member in end of silliness a
